Important updates on Thinkstock

We'll be taking steps between now and 2019 to invite Thinkstock subscribers and image pack users to move up to Getty Images and iStock by Getty Images, where they'll enjoy access to all of the great images available on Thinkstock, plus more. As part of this move, starting April 2018, we will no longer sell any subscriptions or images packs on Thinkstock.

FAQs

We're retiring Thinkstock so we can focus on bringing you more spectacular images, flexible plans, enhanced features and integrated tools on Getty Images and iStock by Getty Images.

When is Thinkstock retiring?

We'll be retiring Thinkstock in mid-2019. As a result, we no longer sell or renew any subscriptions or image packs. You can continue to download with previously purchased subscriptions and image packs until they run out of downloads or expire.

What happens to my previous downloads?

If you have a 1-year subscription, your previous downloads will still be accessible to you on Thinkstock until the site is shut down, mid-2019. In advance of that, if you have an active Premium Access subscription, we will move your previous Thinkstock downloads over to Getty Images so you've got everything you need after Thinkstock is retired.

If you have a monthly subscription, your previous downloads will still be accessible to you on Thinkstock until the site is shut down mid-2019 or your monthly subscription expires.

If you have an image pack, your previous downloads will still be accessible to you on Thinkstock until the site is shut down mid-2019 or your image pack expires.

What happens to my current lightboxes?

You can continue to access your lightboxes on Thinkstock until mid-2019. Because Thinkstock images also lives on the Getty Images and iStock, you can search by the Thinkstock image ID to find the same images on those sites.

Why can't I just keep my Thinkstock 1-year subscription until the site goes away?

If you have an active 1-year subscription you can continue to use it until it expires. After that, we will help you make the move to Getty Images Premium Access so you can retain access to your existing content and get additional features.

Do Getty Images and iStock have the same content as Thinkstock?

All of the best images from Thinkstock are available on Getty Images and iStock. A small percentage of the Thinkstock library is not available on iStock.
